can anyone give me a brief summary of Korean Conflict?

Answer 1

There is Korean Conflict.

Answer 2

On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea.
The UN got involved and the principle forces were from the US. You can do a Yahoo Search or Google and get
lots better info on the war, which was declared a "Police action" and officially, the war is still on. The korean War is also known as the "Forgotten War."

Answer 3

The Korean War, occurring between June 25, 1950 and a cease-fire on July 27, 1953, was a war between the partition states of North Korea and South Korea that were created respectively out of the post-World War II Soviet and American occupation zones in Korea, with large-scale participation by other countries.

The principal support on the side of the North Korean communists was the People's Republic of China, with limited assistance by Soviet combat advisors, military pilots, and weapons. South Korea was supported by United Nations (UN) forces, principally from the United States, although many other nations also contributed personnel.

In South Korea, the war is often called 6·25, from the date of the start of the conflict or, more formally, Han-guk Jeonjaeng (한국전쟁 "Korean War"). In North Korea, it is formally called the Fatherland Liberation War. In the United States, the conflict was officially termed a police action — the Korean Conflict — rather than a war, largely in order to avoid the necessity of a declaration of war by the U.S. Congress. The war is sometimes referred to outside Korea as "The Forgotten War", because it is a major conflict of the 20th century that is rarely mentioned in public discourse.

Answer 4

North Korea, backed by China, wanted the country to be Communist.
South Korea, backed by the US and UN, wanted the country to be Democratic.

They fought for about 10 years over it, and finally called a cease fire. Officially the two countries are still at war.

Answer 5

1950-1953. Another "war" where the GI got shafted by the politicians and the liberals back home.

Answer 6

epbr123 gave a great answer. this addendum is just FYI.

The reason it's called a 'conflict' and not 'war' is because congress never voted to go to war. they voted to send troops as a 'police action'.
So, technically, we are not at war with n korea, we are in conflict with them.

Answer 7

---1950-North Korea invades South Korea and kicks their *** and almost takes over country
---U.S Gets invloved and kicks North Korea's *** all way into china-----China Gets involved and pushes us back to the original border of the two countries
---Both sides agree to a cease-fire, but no actual end to war----which is were it still stands today.
